If I'm buying into a new campaign world I will spend a lot of time reading reviews before buying. However I tend to ignore a lot of the reviews, especially here on ENWorld... the staff reviewers usually produce the reviews that speak to me the most. There are a few other people I trust however too. (Of course for some reason I can not force myself to enjoy the new Iron kingdoms book. I want to, but it just doesn't grab me.)Once I've bought into a setting and enjoyed what I've found I usually won't wait for a review to buy it. Some settings, like the Scarred Lands, have so many books that I like to wait for some kind of word of how good at is. However most other setting produce books a lot less often. Mutants and Masterminds, Warcraft d20, Ravenloft, and Now Eberron have my full support.On the other side of the coin if I buy a book and see that it doesn't have a review I try to write one so other people can make some informed decisions. While my views may not always survive the test of time (For example my glowing Review of the Conan RPG might need to be tweaked... i forgot that like many other interesting low-magic alternatives to gaming I seldom have a chance to use it) I stand by the bulk of my reviews (so a big  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />  those who bashed my review of Complete Warrior, I stand by it 100%).</blockquote>
